5 Ways to Practice Lent for Others
This year, the world approaches Lent—the six week season between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday—with a heightened sense of sorrow and fear. Our world is on fire—again.

And then the coming new life of Spring. The green around us grows brighter. Daffodils bloom in surprising places. Our Creator’s brilliant creativity is on full display.
